Sawn Rocks - Mt Kaputar National Park NSW
Walking tracks range from short easy strolls to more difficult day walks or overnight treks. Picnic at Dawsons Spring in the subalpine area, take an easy walk along the Nature Trail through tall gums and snow grass, or walk to the summit of Mt Kaputar. Car-based camping is available at Dawsons Spring or in the stringybark forest at Bark Hut. Camping areas have free barbecues, hot showers, toilets and fireplaces (bring your own firewood}. Three cabins are available at Dawsons Spring (bookings required).
Sawn Rocks, Australia's best example of the geological formation known as organ-piping, is in the northern section of the park (not accessible from the main part of the park). It's an easy walk and has wheelchair access, free gas barbecues, picnic tables and toilets. Waa Gorge offers a more difficult half-day walk.
Access The main part of the park is 50 km east of Narrabri on Mt Kaputar Road (head south¬east out of Narrabri on Maitland Street). The road has unsealed sections and caravans are not permitted within the park as the road is steep and narrow. Sawn Rocks is 30 minutes from Narrabri on the Bingara Road, and Waa Gorge is 50 minutes from Narrabri along the Terry Hie Hie Road (both have unsealed sections). Access to Waa Gorge is through several gates on private property and may be closed after rainfall.
